I said I'd be ecstatic, and I am. Ecstatic, and really tired. I amazed myself today. It's not that I thought I couldn't run a half marathon in under 1:35– I knew that I could do that on a flat course. But as we drove up a two-mile long hill in the middle of the [...]

Two Faces of Vegetarianism: Not-Dogs and the Farmers Market
Fake-Meat Soy Products
If you've been reading my blog for a while, then you know that I don't like fake food, which often travels under its alias, "health food." In particular, I HATED Gimme Lean fake ground beef. But the other day I was in a convenience store while I was getting gas, and I smelled [...]
Stir-Fry Crazy
I'm amazed at all the 30-Day Challenge commitments coming in, keep it up! The reason I'm putting your names (and links) up, of course, is so that your commitments are there for everyone to see. This way your friends will make fun of you if you quit! I badly want a nice cup of coffee [...]
Three Days Without Coffee and Still Kickin'
Reader 30-Day Challenges
Wow, my innocent query "What change do YOU need to make for the next 30 days?" has inspired quite a few of you to join me in this challenge! Here's what we have so far:
I'm giving up coffee
Christine is starting the Core Performance Essentials program, a fitness plan that I really like

Couscous Cakes– Not as Lame as They Sound!
I've never been a huge fan of having salad for dinner. With dinner, yes; for dinner, no. But I've been trying to get more fresh greens in my diet since realizing last week that I had been feeling a little sluggish as a result of getting lazy in the kitchen. Or more accurately, getting lazy [...]
Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt and a New Coffee Challenge
Some car fairy must have heard me complaining about having to drive so far to Erin's car guy, because yesterday the exact same problem started happening in my car! So here I sit, in a Panera Bread, while the car guy fixes it. Yes, Erin's car guy.
I recently switched back to regular yogurt from soy, [...]
Farmers Market Asparagus Ragout with Polenta
Erin and I have been to the farmers market plenty recently, but I believe this is the first time we've bought something in the morning and cooked it that night. And really, isn't that the way it's supposed to be done? This recipe is adapted from the book Vegetarian Suppers by Deborah Madison, something that we [...]
One Week Until My Half Marathon!
Happy holiday-weekend Sunday, readers! I started my day with a smoothie (no coffee all weekend, thank you very much), this time with rolled oats in it. I got this idea from the blog Kath Eats Real Food. I love getting lots of whole grains, and "add it to the smoothie" is pretty much the easiest [...]
Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew with Basmati Rice
Well, last night I finally got back in the kitchen after my much-needed break. After having eaten Thai curry the night before and leftovers for lunch, I was still in the curry mood. So I searched Foodbuzz for curry recipes, and I found one on the blog Spork or Foon? that seemed pretty simple and [...]
The Moderation Trap
In the spirit of my little break from cooking this week, Erin and I went to a Thai restaurant last night. Erin grew up in a really small town and she has this thing about old-fashioned good service, so whenever she has car trouble we need to drive 45 miles to the only guy in [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
